Business Legal Structures by T Patterson J D,T. Patterson Pdf

What form is best for your business? Should it be one of the corporate forms or one of those that is not a corporation? This text will give you the facts and the comparisons that will help you make that choice. It should at the very least, give you the basic information so you can understand the issues that affect that choice. In addition, this writing is intended to list the basic information about US business structures every attorney and CPA wishes his or her new client already understood when first seeking help turning a worthwhile business plan into a smooth running profit making machine. The table of contents lists the types of business legal structures available to the entrepreneur for doing business in the US. Note that business structures have either a ?corporate? and ?non-corporate? legal form. Take a ?quick look? at the comparison of business types appearing in Chapter 1: ?Business Entities Compared?. It is an easy to understand summary of the major considerations in choosing a form for a business. That page, for each type, lists the owner; personal liability; taxation and management features of each type. The later chapters of this writing discuss the details and the major issues that apply to each of business legal structure listed in that first chapter. All USA businesses are legal entities authorized defined, created, and registered according to the individual state laws of the state where the business is located. Although similar, there are important differences among the states. A great deal of ?shopping? for a favorable ?home? does in fact take place because of those differences. However, there is a requirement for all businesses to ?register? in any state where it has operations. That subject is the subject of Chapter 15: ?Doing Business in Other States?. The appendix provides links to all 50 state departments Involved in forming a business. It includes all state's secretary of state business records departments; state taxation departments; security departments; and corporate and business laws.

Business Enterprises by Douglas M. Branson Pdf

This book undertakes a traditional, and inclusive, approach to the law of business organizations. The volume includes materials many books now on the market omit, such as agency and unincorporated business associations, while at the same time maintaining a wide breadth of coverage. As such, the book permits professors to emphasize closely held and other non-public companies while at the same time offering the basics on public company law and practice. Along these lines, the book includes materials on securities offerings, registration, exemptions from registration, and lawyers' responsibilities under the securities laws. Features that make this book a strong teaching tool and a strong learning tool include: Chapter introductions that summarize and highlight the overall and contextual importance of chapter contents (rather than merely list and categorize the parts of the chapter); Basic corporate finance nomenclature and other information necessary to an understanding of transactional business law, including individual chapters on basic corporate finance, corporate changes and change of control transactions; Materials allowing for a comparison of laws and practices in other countries with those of the United States in key areas of study; and Well-selected notes and problems that permit the integration of concepts and foster application skills at key junctures. This single text allows for coverage of law, underlying theory and policy, and practice skills. In one volume, the book contains material sufficient to educate a young lawyer to function in general business law practice. The emphasis has been on creating a teaching resource that is comprehensive in the view of the five experienced business law teacher-practitioner authors. The Teacher's Manual explains the authors' conception of the materials, offers helpful summaries, provides detailed analyses of the key cases, and offers answers and explanations for the problems included in the text and related hypothetical situations. This book also is available in a three-hole punched, alternative loose-leaf version printed on 8.5 x 11 inch paper with wider margins and with the same pagination as the hardbound book.

The Law of Business Structures by Farouk H. I. Cassim Pdf

The law of business structures provides a comprehensive but simplified treatment of the different types of business structures in South African law. The book examines the law of partnerships, business trusts, close corporations and companies, whether large or small, and whether formed for a profit-making or a non-profit-making objective. The chapters on company law provide a detailed discussion and explanation of core company law topics. Discussions of modern corporate governance best practices, insider trading and market manipulation are also included. Excessive theoretical analysis has been avoided, but important legal concepts and principles are nevertheless carefully explained and analysed. Case law and references to legislation have been kept to a minimum, but discussions of the important cases and relevant legislation are included.--Résumé de l'éditeur.

Business Structures by David G. Epstein Pdf

A popular and highly-adaptable casebook for use in either a three-credit or four-credit course on business organizations or corporations. The second edition continues the traits that made the original so popular. The book is intended for all law students, whether they will practice on Wall Street or Main Street. It is aimed not only at those who were finance majors and know that they will take advanced corporate courses. It's also for the poetry majors who assume that they are going to dislike the course. Students who use the book are often shocked at how much they enjoy the subject and class. The book best meets law students' need to understand not only the legal issues that arise in battling for control of a large, mature public corporation, but also the legal and business issues that arise in starting and growing a new business. The book is student-friendly; it speaks to the student and conveys much meaningful information, much like a text book in other fields. It features problems and questions that integrate and develop doctrine. Unlike many other casebooks that merely cobble together a series of cases and open-ended questions, the book carefully teaches, in an enjoyable but organized way. During class, the professor can focus on the fun material; the book has already taught students the nuts and bolts. The book has a unique structure, as students follow a business (Bubba's Burritos) through every phase of each of the business structures. The course builds with the same cast of characters, as they explore how to form a business, how to make it grow, how to raise capital, how to transfer ownership, how to assess liability issues, and how the business may come to an end. This same business life cycle is experienced for the sole proprietorship, general partnership, close corporation, public corporation, limited partnership, and LLC. Students will compare and contrast the advantages and disadvantages of each business structure. The book draws on special resources. The contributions of Mike Roberts, of the Harvard Business School, are especially obvious. Students benefit from B-School materials, excerpts from periodicals, problems, and lots of original text to focus on both business and legal issues. Likewise, new co-author George Shepherd, a legal scholar and economist, offers economic theory-made-easy: he translates important economic concepts into simple language that all can enjoy. And it's SHORT. It provides a comprehensive view of business organizations in fewer than 850 pages, including some light-hearted (and light-headed) efforts at humor. We don't force the professor to spend hours trying to determine what parts of a bloated book are important enough to assign. We have done the distilling for you. The book features the innovation of asking questions before most cases (as well as after), to focus the students' reading. The combination of cases is compelling - the old classics plus new teaching vehicles that will become classics. In addition, the second edition features up-to-the minute discussion of new developments such as CEO compensation and Sarbanes-Oxley. These materials can be adapted to almost any need. For those desiring full coverage of publicly traded corporations, no problem, as the book treats Section 16b, proxy fights, and takeovers. Those desiring to leave those materials out will find plenty for a full three- or four-credit course on the variety of business structures.

Choosing the Right Legal Form of Business by Patricia Mitchell Pdf

According the United States Small Business Administrationâe(tm)s most recently released date, there are more than 9 million small businesses in the United States and almost 250,000 new ones started every year. Of those new businesses, half will fail in the first 12 months and part of that failure is due to the lack of information about how to start and develop that business. Without the right legal form of business, you may end up paying too much in taxes, failing to comply with certain laws, or miss out on certain breaks that you deserve. This book provides you with a complete guide, discussing all four major forms of business, which one is right for you, and how your decision may affect you in the future. The first thing you will read about is the list of non-legal issues you need to deal with before you start the business creation process. In addition, you will learn which form of business is ideal for your particular situation with a short overview of each type, a comparison of what each offers, and how the legal implications of each might apply to you. You will learn specifically how to choose between an LLC and a corporation in instances where it might not be immediately clear which is best for you. You will also learn which special business structures are best suited to your needs if you do not fit into any of the four primary categories. The process of structuring a partnership is outlined, along with how to create a written agreement and how to change a partnership after the business has been created. You will also learn how to create a corporation, including the structure you will use, how to establish financing, the compensation you will provide yourself, whether you need a lawyer, the 13 step process of starting and filing your corporation, and what you need to do immediately afterwards. The number of members needed to create an LLC is provided as well, along with how to structure management and determine financing and compensation. Hours of careful interviews were conducted with successful small business owners and legal experts to help create a comprehensive collection of materials that will guide you through the processes above, as well as how to handle transition of ownership and the extended process of naming your business âe" including the legal implications of this process, what you need to know about trademarks and service marks, how to protect your own trademarks, and where to do name searches. The licensing and permit processes, as well as the tax structures for each business type, are included for federal, state, and local laws, while additional information is provided on how to build your home-based business as opposed to one in a physical location. If you are looking to create a new business and do not know which format is best for your needs, this book will walk you through each step of the selection process, making sure your new business meets all applicable laws and regulations.

The Law of Business Structures by Farouk Cassim,Maleka Femida Cassim,Rehana Cassim,Richard Dennis Jooste,Joanne Shev,Jacqueline Yeats Pdf

''The Law of Business Structures provides a comprehensive but simplified treatment of the different types of business structures in South African law. Partnerships, business trusts, close corporations and companies, whether large or small, whether profit-making or non-profit making, are discussed. This includes modern corporate governance best practices, and even an updated analysis of insider trading and market manipulation. The proposed new Companies Amendment Bill of 2021, which was published when this new edition was nearing completion, is also discussed wherever relevant. In the nine years since the publication of the first edition of The Law of Business Structures, there has been extensive judicial development of many provisions of the Companies Act 71 of 2008. This second edition has been updated to include a discussion and analysis of the leading cases on the subject. Much of the material on this subject, particularly company law, has been updated. The prime, original aim of keeping complex theoretical analysis and debate to a minimum has been retained. A highlight of this book is that legal doctrines and principles are expounded in a lucid and coherent way and stated, wherever possible, in simple terms."--Back cover
